Tee Times
Preferably later morning, afternoon, dusk on the beach.
Spring has sprung so let's all have a good one.
Congratulations again to Mr. Tiger Woods on winning The Masters. We here knew you could do it again and look forward to much more Tiger Magic.
Congratulations Mr. Patrick Cantlay on winning The Memorial,! Kudos to all the other golfers playing in The Memorial, and thank you to all the volunteers, including Mr. & Mrs. Jack Nicklaus, Dublin, Ohio, locals, staff, officials & families. Way to go Mr. Graeme McDowell on qualifying for The Open in your Royal Portrush this year! If you'd like your own Open cheering section, please visit our Scoob E Doo Nation Page.
Congratulations to Mr. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland on winning another Open - The RBC Heritage Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ontario. Many thanks to the other players as well, especially low Canadian Mr. Adam Hadwin, and to your teams and families as well. Well done volunteers, locals, officials and staff who also made this a great event.
Well Done Mr. Gary Woodland on winning your first Major at one of America's most beautifuls courses, Pebble Beach, California, and kudos to your family and team as well. Well done golfers, Pebble Beach Golf links, USGA, Officials, volunteers and players.
Good on you Mr. Chez Reavie for winning again on tour at The Travelers on TPC River Highlands in Cromwell , Connecticut, U.S.A. Good on the other competitors as well, especially Mr. Sucher who surely learned something or two & likely will go on to his own great wins. Congratulations as always to all the families, teams, locals, volunteers, and staff. We're grateful to witness all wins with a roof over our Florida Terrarium TV Room!
Good luck Hollywood doing justice to the story of fourth alternate Mr. Nate Lashley winning, and Monday qualifier Mr. Doc Redman taking second while Rocketing Mortgage in Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A., on their way to The Open and a beautiful look at a real career. Congratulations also to their families and team, all the volunteers, officials and locals for making this first Detroit tournament an event not to be forgotten.
Way to go TPC Twin Cities, Blaine, Minnesota, U.S.A., hosting your first PGA event. Kudos to winner Mr. Matthew Wolff on winning and all associated with this 3M Open.
Congratulations all in Royal Portrush, and all Northern Ireland for The 2019 Open. Kudos to Champion Golfer of the Year Shane Lowry of Ireland and family, as well as the other contenders and their teams; Captain Hairdoo Tommy Fleetwood gave great chase, the only kind we like to watch Great Britain give in Northern Ireland. Many thanks also to the locals, volunteers, officials, and broadcasters, although I was paying more attention to our cat Tiger. A whale of a win for Ireland.
Sadly our cat Tiger passed Monday after The 148th Open. She was a spry age 16, but feeling unwell of late. Another member of our family gone, and I dread and fear the fall of the rest. ...
My go-to Happy Place of Golf just wasn't doing it for me, despite good highlights almost through the end of the Revised Season. During the Revised 3 weeks of Playoffs, when golfer after golfer said it really wasn't about the $5 million FedEx added to the $10 million prize, golf really started to lose this lifelong fan. People who don't care about $15 million already have $15 million, and some already forgot what it's like to have No million. As one of the 99% who don't have $15 million, I'd be over the Moon with $15 million, and moving my aging family out of this declining neighborhood, and off of hot dogs and chicken until absence made the heart grow fond again.
This heart may never grow fond of golf again after playoff weekend 2019 in Georgia, where evidently stupid is super contagious.Six dummies think a tree in a lightning storm is the right place to be after the golf weather warning horn repeatedly blew, and get minorly injured by a falling branch during the passing squall. The PGA thus stops Saturday play on a beautiful afternoon after the storm with lots of sunny daylight left, and golfers who hadn't finished would just have to reset and resume Round 3 early on Sunday, right before the season ending Round 4 $15 million match Sunday.
Two matches on one $15 million golf Sunday is not fair play on so many levels it makes my head spin. I'm disappointed in the PGA for ignoring most of the tenets of The First Tee: Honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, judgment, confidence. The PGA confidently screwed up its Super Sunday for most of us. Slainte!
The 2019-2020 season started fresh with simple new golf rules free from the Internet. I gave the PGA schedule changes to make room for the NFL a try and did Not like it, nor did I enjoy the new tournament playoff format of three straight weeks. But the last does jibe with the PGA's new two matches on Super Sunday format. Golf is not what it used to be, none of us are, and that isn't always a good thing. Running the risk of getting Gary McCorded, but surely someone has to tell PGA it's not living up to Golf. When are Mom, Scoob & me ever going to Augusta anyway; it's gettin' late. ... And stupid is way too contagious in Georgia. We also cannot support the PGA on its reversal of the Cheaters Never Win And Winners Never Cheat Golden Rule. I am thankful for all the magical golf we got from enchanted lands, and for the chance to visit them, several times back in the day. I don't count practice day at Copperhead in Palm Harbor entirely enchanting because we live in Florida, America, a different kind of land featured usually twice weekly on Weekend Update of Saturday Night Live.
This was not the PGA's finest season by a longshot. Good luck fixing it. American golf needs to do better for the world. We'd like to see you do it rather than dicking it up more. ...
People wonder why I maintain a Web site full of Scoob E and Garden and Golf and Scenery photos and stories. Everyone should have a nice place to go, especially on the Internets. My octogenarian Mother mostly works damn hard on a very nice garden, blissfully in a not-so-nice neighborhood. Everytime we walk outside I have my head on a swivel, but I get why patches of grass are such a big seller in Manhattan and I'm grateful for ours. Not as grateful when battling those daisies with deep roots and long black seeds that stick into Scoob E's coat. ... Or sidestepping snakes, why did it have to be snakes? Why did it have to be literal and figurative snakes? Why does Florida have to be littered with things that look like snakes? I fought the yard, and the yard won, baby. It's a Jungle. So the grass is always greener, as they say.
Beautiful in bloom and year round, Mom's magical backyard outside our terrarium tv room always is a blessed wonder. Scoob E romping about back there is even better. Nearly everyone loves an adorable dog. Not everyone can enjoy canine companionship, but very few don't enjoy the incomparable Scoob E Doobie D Doge. What's not to like about a dog who likes to fly, as well as keeping his paws on the ground to stop and smell the roses? He could be a movie star! But he's quite happy being the best dog in the Universe right here, watching movies now, more than golf, between garden breaks.
My golf stories and photos here are meant to entertain and commemorate the trip of a lifetime Mom and me took to The Open in Carnoustie, Scotland, back in 2018 when golf still was magical and Signore Molinari became the first Italian Champion Golfer of The Year. Salute! If you've read Open 1 & Open 2, you know I could write a book about that trip, a bestselling mother-daughter tearjerker tracing their adventurous last hurrah through the home of Golf and beyond. But who could sell this book to a publisher, so everyone could buy it?
As the 2020-2021 golf season begins, it's just not the same. I watched the first few minutes of the Hawaii matches because that's when they show the adorable seals and otters, and wonderful whales; love me some marine mammals. Pebble Beach as always was beautiful, but I learned this year Mom didn't visit the public clubhouse there on her one visit with Dad years ago because Dad said the public wasn't allowed in there. I've always wanted to experience Pebble Beach and its magnificent environs, and low tide looks great for Scoob E, but I'm not sure we'll get to the Pacific Ocean.
I'm not sure we'll get too far from home again.
There's no place like home, and home is what you make it, they say. And life's a garden; Dig it here with Mom, Scoob and me at GEsays.com when it suits your fancy. Thank you. - GE

What's Happening Here At Home In Sunny Florida, U.S.A. For instance, the only day I met Mr. William Shatner was the day I figuratively Moved IN To My Parents' Basement because few basements are in Florida. Soooo, guest bedroom. Sigh. Still very thankful to have a roof over our heads, and to have met Mr. Shatner with Mom (whom he really did like), even though I was not at my best that day.
